$100/ slug for a plain ol' Ross Flat top piston ???
Or $1272.24 for a set of eight Wiseco?
You can but a whole set of Chevy pistons for $100. Should be more like $20-$50 if a Chevy will cross ref.
Anyone to know the rod length, the pin height or piston weight of our 650?
I did some surfing awhile back and I think a 307 Chevy flat top piston diameter is within .001 or .002. of the LS650. I expect a piston could be cross referenced.
I don't think a piston supplier would have to do to much work to make a LS650 slug, from a good forged or Hypereutectic Chevy (or Ford) Flat top piston to raise the compression one point to 9.5:1, they are available in many overbore sizes.
I am hoping someone might have access to both pistons and could tell us the pin locations.
It would be sweet if one of those could be found to fit or one that could easily be modified to fit the 650.
Of course really good race pistons like this Manley would be more but not $100 each!
Noticed the Ford 5.0 litre DOHC Cobra crate motors also use our 3.70" bore;
I forget the recipe that Burt Monroe used to make his, 2 parts Chevy & one part Ford?
